rGd39f7430a6e1: amd64: preserve %cr2 in NMI/MCE/DBG handlers.

Summary

These handlers could interrupt code which has interrupts disabled, and if a spurious page fault occurs during exception handler run, we get clobbered %cr2 in higher level stack.

This is mostly a speculation, but it is based on hints from good sources.
